Default Are we the fastest Mardave club in the country?

Considering the open class rules we run at Glos, 13.5T BL/19T BR 2cell lipo/6 cell nimh, are we the fastest Mardave club in the country?

IMO.... YES
Votes please

We run unlimited V12's aswell but our motors are unlimited I was running originally running a Mamba Max with a 6900kv and 5000mah 2s lipo's ball diff etc and then changed to an Orion Vortex 7.5t so we could give you a run for your money

IMO..............MAYBE,MAYBE NOT

In all seriousness though although our car spec isn't unlimited, we are almost certainly significantly better drivers. :> So yes, I think we probably are the fastest club in Mardaves.

The only other mardave I've seen outside of club is via you tube. Half agree with Dave b ATM only on that basis. However until we're all on the same track and same motor/ lipo ruling very difficult to say.

Sounds like fighting talk though

7.5t in a mardave! Whow, I can only guess your track allows you to open up on that kind of power. Our track is pretty small.

Default Motor pod foam

Bob, see attached photos
Hope this helps
Probably better to have equal foam on each side.
This mod stopped the front wheels lifting on sharp turns.
